<div>"Qimo is a desktop operating system designed for kids. Based on the open source <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/" target="_blank">Ubuntu Linux</a> desktop, Qimo comes pre-installed with educational games for children aged 3 and up. </div>
<p id="temp_br">
<p>Qimo's interface has been designed to be intuitive and easy to use, providing large icons for all installed games, so that even the youngest users have no trouble selecting the activity they want."</p></p></blockquote>
<p>And from their FAQ:</p>

<dt><strong>Q: Why not use <a title="Sugar" href="http://sugarlabs.org/go/Main_Page" target="_blank">Sugar </a>from the <a title="One Laptop Per Child" href="http://laptop.org/" target="_blank">OLPC project</a>?</strong>
<dd>A: Sugar is a very good interface for the OLPC computers it was made for, but many of the design decisions and interfaces don't work nearly as well on standard PCs. Qimo uses a customized XFCE interface to provide a fast, lightweight, and most importantly an easy to navigate interface that works well with standard computers, monitors and keyboards.</dd>
